We consider the viscosity solution of a homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the eikonal equation in a bounded set Ω. We suppose that the Hamiltonian, H(x,p)=〈A(x)p,p〉−1, is strictly convex w.r.t. the variables pp and of class C1,1 w.r.t. the variables x. Then the solution of the Dirichlet problem admits an extension to a neighbourhood of Ω, such that u is still a viscosity solution of the eikonal equation if and only if ∂Ω satisfies an exterior sphere condition. The above result, in particular, provides a characterization of the boundary singularities and a regularity theorem (up to the boundary) for the solution of the eikonal equation.

Abstract
We consider the viscosity solution of a homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the eikonal equation in a bounded set Ω. We suppose that the Hamiltonian, H(x,p)=〈A(x)p,p〉−1, is strictly convex w.r.t. the variables pp and of class C1,1 w.r.t. the variables x. Then the solution of the Dirichlet problem admits an extension to a neighbourhood of Ω, such that u is still a viscosity solution of the eikonal equation if and only if ∂Ω satisfies an exterior sphere condition. The above result, in particular, provides a characterization of the boundary singularities and a regularity theorem (up to the boundary) for the solution of the eikonal equation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
